# Task Sequence Templates

Instead of creating a task sequence from scratch, it is often useful to start from predefined templates.  DeployR includes a number of sample templates that can be used as a starting point that can then be customized for your specific needs.

The process for using a template:

* From the DeployR task sequence list in the StifleR Dashboard, click the "+ Add" button and choose "Add from template".\
  ![](/files/RdVl8TKpcXPq20RV12R0)
* Choose from one of the available templates.  Click the "Open after creation" button to open the new task sequence, then click "Clone."
* Click "Edit mode" to edit the task sequence.  Make sure all task sequence steps (e.g. "Apply OS") point to the needed content items, then click "Save all changes."
